I can't really see why you love winter so much. It's dark, it's wet, it's cold. Yeah we get bigger winds than summer but they're gusty and often short-lived.

Plus finding a decent spot to sail in a W is not easy.

Give me summer any day.


you were loving it

I still have mixed feelings about this summer vs winter debate.
At this very moment give me a sunny day, 20/25 knots, a few mates and fun waves at my local anyday
Im yet to have a good day at Crazies. To me its not worth the drive just to jump waves. I wanna ride waves.
The closest Ive had to riding waves in winter was at Crystals.
And Im yet to experience the leg breaking wrath of Buckets



so were you ...ha ha

According to the Seabreeze chart this Tuesday is the day for strong westerly winds in Sydney! Great to see those high pressure systems being crushed.

Its not looking too bad for the weekend. Perhaps all my whining has been enough to get Huey off his arse and do something.

lol.
You sound desperate.
Two more months to kill, poleys.
Strong storm-fronts don't really happen until July.
Cold fronts occur in cold weather.
Today was warm as pie.




Yeah right, yet again how WRONG you are, looks like another front on it's way and it's still only MAY

Oh yeah

now I'm back on the west coast I am all stuffed up with the forecasts in winter... summer is easy.... what time will the front arrive Wed night - Thurs morning?

Seabreeze shows a peak (up here) about 0700 Thurs.... and not much, gone by 0900. But BOM shows a good 18-23 (up here, maybe 20-30 in Perth) and lasting til well after 1100-1200.

A rough arrival time would let me know if it worth the 30 min drive (after getting out of bed at sparrow's fart) or not

wassup experts?
